Listen "Cross Curriculum Coding with Ozobot"
Episode Synopsis
.Dive into the wonderfully versatile world of Ozobot, tiny, sensor powered robots that can be colour coded with textas / markers or block coded. Our listener question inspires a discussion into how to use Ozobots in KLAs beyond Digital Technologies. We explore practical, engaging classroom ideas that span English, HSIE, Science, and PDHPE. As always we give common troubleshooting tips and real stories from the classroom to give you an insight using these pocket-sized robots in your classroom. Key Takeaways 1. Ozobots are ideal for screen free coding2. Cross curricular potential is great, but be sure they aren’t overpowering the content you are aiming for. 3. The creative layer boosts engagement in areas which may need it (e.g. understanding perimeter) and enhance it in others (e.g. coding a narrative) ResourcesOzobot Educator ResourcesOzoblockly Coding PlatformOzobot Classroom PlatformColour-Code Guides & PrintablesExample Ozobot costume inspo Story Map Inspiration Blog (referenced in discussion)Sea Bin https://seabinfoundation.org/ (referenced in discussion, a great example of STEM in action)
